If that officer hadn't acted in the way he did, then that scene could have been a whole lot uglier than it was.
About 5 seconds after the shooting, about half a dozen massively armed police in riot gear show up, so I doubt it mate. Having said that, the officer doing the shooting did not know that.

She was a fucking idiot though, the men to her left tried to stop her an even said "He's got a gun" several times.
 
"We're storming the Capitol, it's a revolution" she says whilst crying because she was "pushed" and "maced" whilst trying to enter.

I don't think they are made of the stern stuff.


She's so whiny, lol.

But MOM!!! I was being a revolutionary!

I have to assume warning shots are not a thing indoors. Aim it at the ceiling and shoot the cleaner on the floor above sort of situation.

Got to show there is a firm line somewhere, something the police completely failed to do. These people are mainly cowards, if they'd been shown real force earlier (not deadly, but genuine resistance) then it almost certainly wouldn't have gotten that far

An irrefutable example of the old adage "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
 
Holy shit...I did not expect so many responses. Trump is fucked, let me get that straight. Today has shown this more than ever. He cares only about himself.
My point was that people are so excited about Biden getting in but theyre set up for disappointment because the people who need help the most won’t get it. They never do. Both sides of politics have different policies but it ends up the same result if you are in a poor neighbourhood. Hence no need to be so violent, divisive and hateful cos youre only fucking yourself when you trash your own city. Both Biden and Trump will still sleep well at night no matter what suffering is going around them. Same shit, different administration...and the same discussions about being the best candidate for the poor will be had again in 4 years (all while hundreds of thousands still sleep on sidewalks across the country). Sad, scary but intriguing to watch this all unfold as a non American.
Peace, stay safe and please celebrate a derby win instead of getting annoyed by a random stranger on the internet.
All just routine.
Us beating United. Us getting to another cup final.....

and a white supremacist mob overrunning Capital Hill and breaking into congress chambers and halting government proceedings before being politely asked to go home.

All very routine. Nothing to see here. Move along.

5 seconds is a long time though. Certainly plenty of time for someone coming in behind her and grab a hostage, and then the whole dynamic changes.

The whole situation was f*cked up. We could spend ages going back and forth about various elements of what unfolded, but the simple undeniable fact is that Donald J Trump attempted to subvert democracy by force. Obviously, the fat coward wasn't leading the charge, but he stoked up the mob in order to get them to do his bidding, and it's all because he wanted to run the clock down on the statute of limitation on pending charges against him.

Certainly warning shots aren't a thing in the UK for those authorised to carry fire arms. Shots are always aimed at the centre mass of the target, and a single well aimed shot is usually effective in neutralising most threats.

I love the way that when she's whining about being maced, the boyfriend helpfully interjects with "In the face" just in case noone is sure how mace works.
 
How does society get past all this? The Trump fuelled mess that is America, the clear divisions in this country re Brexit. Will it even get better any time soon? It feels like decency in politics has disappeared off the face of the earth. It's incredibly tribal now. Civil unrest everywhere, and it's only getting worse. Can't help but think the advent of social media has made populism explode to unhealthy levels. Am I being incredibly pessimistic to not really picture a way out of this?

This was the warm up act. There's nothing that shouts patriot more to your fellow patriots than taking the mick out of 350,000 dead Americans.

 
Trump supporter and US Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt died after being shot by a plain-clothed police officer as protesters attempted to enter the House Chamber where lawmakers were working to confirm the Electoral College votes

What a waste of a veteran , has to be asked why a single forces support him after what he says about them
